PRIOR APPROVAL

(c) 64443Prior approval for a change of use from storage (use class B8) to dwelling house (use Class C3) at Fairlynch Stores, Willoway Lane, Braunton.

Applicant:Mr D Hague

Comment:Braunton Parish Council wishes to express its concern regarding the above application being considered under prior approval. The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 states,

‘The right only applies to buildings that were last used or were in use as storage or distribution (B8) on or before 19th March 2014. This would include former businesses in an office use (B1) or general industrial (B2) buildings that have changed use to storage or distribution (B8) use under existing permitted development rights, provided that they were in such uses on 19th March 2014. However, there is an additional requirement that a building seeking to change use must have been in B8 use for a period of a least 4 years before the date development begins.’

RECOMMENDED: Braunton Parish Council do not believe that the application meets the above criteria. If the Local Planning Authority (LPA) are mindful to approve the application the Council would request the LPA’s reasons for granting approval.

Cllr Chugg declared a non-Pecuniary interest.
